Yes.
Linux kernel module binary includes kernel vereion number
(For example SCopre 5.4.0  2.4.19-1SCORE or 2.4.19-1SCOREsmp).
So you must compile kernel modules with kernel include files what you want.

Basically, SCore use original NIC driver.

But we change some NIC drivers because PM/Ethernet is not worked
or have performance problem with these drivers.
